Ok, now I KNOW it's bogus... the 283c.i. wasn't introduced until 1956. The '53 & '54 Corvettes only had an in-line 6.Sixgun wrote:Its red with white coves, both tops, matching numbers, 4 speed, and has a fuel injected 283.flatnose wrote:What color is the corvette, and is it a matching numbers car.

I don't have a clue on the first set but it appears that on the second set from left to right is: 30-06, .50bmg, 20mm, 30mm, and 40 AA.
Am I even close?

Re: OT--Name These Cartridges! (2 Games)
I recognize the .30-06, .50 BMG and the 30mm from the second picture. The 30mm is like the one I have in my office. This is what the main gun on the A10 "Warthog" shoots!

Re: OT--Name These Cartridges! (2 Games)
Man that blue one sure would be nice in a Trapper, but I'm pretty sure that it would take an 1886 action for the one on the right! Wonder if they make gummy point bullets for them?

Re: OT--Name These Cartridges! (2 Games)
You are right! Aussie Chris was second. I need your address so I can ship the Corvette. Aussie Chris gets the second prize, the old '55 Chevy thats been out in the field behind my house. Its been there since '68, has lots of lead in it, and was run over by a 6 wheeled John Deere!morgan in nm wrote:I don't have a clue on the first set but it appears that on the second set from left to right is: 30-06, .50bmg, 20mm, 30mm, and 40 AA.

Re: OT--Name These Cartridges! (Pics & Winners listed)
Sixgun Jr. You are close. You are right on the first one--its a W.R.A.C.O. 50-110. The second is an original 45-100 Sharps with a 550 gr. paper patched bullet and the last one is a 500 Blackpowder Express with a 485 paper patched bullet.Sixgun jr wrote:50/110-- 40/100--45/110, Just a way out there guess.------ big blue one is kinda cool.
Yea, the pics a little fuzzy--Sharps cartridges were not headstamped-----Sixgun
Sixgun jr.--You are not eligible to win because you only guessed one cartridge. I do feel obliged though----expect a few empty .22 LR cases in the mail
